But we never could\u2019ve anticipated the massive number of submissions we received and the high caliber of writing across the board. There was a lot of wheat, very little chaff.<\/p>\n<p>So we gave ourselves an extension in order to give each entry the respect it deserved. The downside of this decision was that it gave me more time to sit with the uncomfortable realization that dozens of worthy stories wouldn\u2019t be winners \u2014 such was the level of writing quality. As a writer myself, that\u2019s not something I take lightly. I was dreading the day that we had to lock in the finalists, found below.<\/p>\n<p>To those who didn\u2019t win, I\u2019m sincerely grateful that you took the time to participate. Tablet Hotels is a passion project for all of us who work here and your contribution means the world. As a thank you, everyone who submitted an essay is eligible for a complimentary two-year Tablet Plus membership. There\u2019s nothing you need to do now. We\u2019ll reply directly to your submission email with all the registration details.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the aforementioned avalanche of submissions, we decided to add a few more finalists to the four we initially planned. These three special winners were chosen because of how insightfully they addressed a subject that\u2019s always worth a little extra attention: being a mom. These extra awards, timed nicely with Mother&#8217;s Day in the UK, are our <em>mom<\/em>-orariums.<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, let\u2019s look at the winners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GRAND PRIZE WINNER<\/strong><br \/>\nOur grand prize goes to Anna von Kuhn and her essay about <a style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/magazine.tablethotels.com\/en\/2026\/03\/pillows-maurits-at-the-park-essay-winner\/?noapp=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pillows Hotel Maurits at the Park<\/a> in Amsterdam. Anna will receive a $500 payment, plus an offer to work with us on future paid writing assignments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RUNNERS-UP AND MOM-ORARIUMS<\/strong><br \/>\nOur runners-up, Nicky Hornsby-Clifton, Mikenzy Afdahl, and Katherine Moffat will each receive a $500 credit to use on Tablet, as will our three thoughtful moms, Renata Lewis, Beatriz Marques Gouveia, and Nicola Shah. We&#8217;ll be in touch with all of you shortly.<\/p>\n<p>You can find all of the finalist essays below.
